There are many ways you can support the work of Newcastle United Foundation. You can help by fundraising for us or attending one of our charity events.

The Great Run Company have unveiled a brand-new course and runner experience for the AJ Bell Great North 10K in partnership with Newcastle United Foundation, set to take place on Sunday 2 July 2023. Runners for this years Great North 10k have the option to be a local hero and run for Newcastle United Foundation. There will be a black and white wave on event day, with runners wearing a special black and white striped run number in the clubs’ colours. Your sponsorship directly funds meaningful community work in your area, helping motivate and inspire people to be more active, learn new skills, be more employable and to reach their potential.
Great North Run
Each year Newcastle United Foundation recruits a team of runners to take on the Great North Run – the World’s biggest and best half marathon. Fundraisers completing the Great North Run for Newcastle United Foundation directly generate vital funding for our community programmes, providing support for thousands of people across the region every year. To secure your place, we ask for a £58 deposit to cover the cost of your place. All the money you raise comes directly to Newcastle United Foundation. We ask our runners to raise a minimum of £300 in sponsorship. Your sponsorship directly funds meaningful community work in your area, helping motivate and inspire people to be more active, learn new skills, be more employable and to reach their potential.
